Save some cash, and buy the straight pipe. I doubt the claims for the Random Tech cat though.

Straight pipe is illegal? Why you have doubt? Straight pipe = $79, random cat = $180

It has ben wel documented that on 2k2 - 3 the stock cat does a great job, unless you want to run a straight pipe, which ius emissions illegal

Get both the Y pipe and B pipe and a free flowing muffler, and you will get a good growl and some HP....

It's only illegal if you get caught Besides, it's only the environment! I think we should burn down the rain forests to roast whales on and make clubs for baby seals

GA doesn't have inspection either, is it just Cali that has it? And is it a visual inspection or just a tube attached to your end pipe inspection?

Remember.. You get what you payed for.. Quality wise.. As far as the cat goes. Our stock cats are already pretty free flow. Getting an RT CAT will yield 1hp if any.. I myself have a straightpipe going through. But I need to be freeflow since I'm boosted..

Oh yes Georgia does, but I don't think all counties have it. I know for certain that all metro Atlanta counties have the yearly mandated inspections. New cars get a 3 year repreive.

Georgia Emissions

Check that link out for the (stupid) counties that require it

That's why I went to a test pipe. But then again I never had the heat shield on. i took it off. Who care if I burn the grass if I park my car over it
